 The 5th Primary School in Megara is located at the northwest edge of the city, in the foothills of Gerania. The planted roof will be open to visits from students and educators aiming mostly at the service of children’s educational needs, but also at the green roof’s exploitation for the realization of activities related to experiential educational, environmental programs. It also contributes to the area’s aesthetic upgrade, as the green roof is visible from different points.

The synthesis of the landscape based on the building’s strict structure and its building grid, creates a new plant-made overlaying grid, parallel to the structural features or slightly turned, which covers the roof’s surface.
